Description
Function
1
Fiber lock lever
2
Operation indicator (Red)
Lights up when the output is ON.
Both blink alternately when a manual-
teaching error occurs.
Both blink simultaneously when the
output is short-circuited.
3
Power indicator (Green)
Lights up when the power is ON,
blinks during auto-teaching.
4
Tolerance adjuster
Determines the tolerance of equivalence, with respect to the reference color
that the sensor has been taught, in 16 grades.
5
Teaching button
Teaches the sensor the target color as the criterion (reference color.)
(While the button is held, the sensor emits blue, red, and green beams one after the other.)
6
Teaching protect switch
The teaching button is ineffective if the switch is set on “LOCK”, but is effective
if the switch is set on “SET”.
7
Setting mode selection switch
Manual-teaching is selected if the switch is set on “MANUAL”.
Auto-teaching is selected if the switch is set on “AUTO”.
8
Output operation mode switch
Coincident-ON is selected if the switch is set on “NORMAL”.
Incoincident-ON is selected if the switch is set on “INVERSE”.
9
Timer operation mode switch
The OFF-delay timer is ineffective if the switch is set on “NON”, but is effective if the switch is set on “OFD”.

SETTING
During teaching, the
FZ-10
series resolves the color projected by the spot into
red, green, and blue components which are processed as numerical values and
stored into the EEPROM memory.
If, during teaching, the spot area is not filled by one uniform
color, such as when the target objects are smaller than the spot
area, or are partly projected upon, then colors other than the one
you want to detect may also be sensed. Make sure that objects
! #!#/
taught data is saved in the EEPROM even when the sensor
power supply is switched off. However, the guaranteed rewrite
operations are limited to 100,000 times because of its lifetime.

Setting reference color
Prepare a sample object bearing the target color you want to detect. Choose
manual teaching or auto-teaching.

reference color as the criterion and starts sensing.)

In case teaching is not properly done.
The operation indicator (red) and the power indica-
tor (green) blink alternately.
Repeat the teaching operation after confirming that the
light spot is projected at right angle to the reference color
sample and that the distance to the sample is appropriate.

Setting by auto-teaching
Teaching the reference color on a moving object. (If the sample object includes
colors other than the reference color, perform manual teaching. The sample object
must contain only one uniform color for correct auto-teaching.)

Press the teaching button and release it. Then, the
sensor enters into the waiting state. [The sensor recog-
nizes the background color, then enters into the waiting
state and the power indicator (green) starts blinking.]

5.
Run the sample object at the setting distance.
The sensor recognizes the first coming color
other than the background color as the criterion.
The traveling speed must satisfy the following
two conditions.
(1) It should be 300 mm/sec. or more.
(2) The reference color must be exposed to
the spot for 3ms or more.
After the sample object moves away, the sen-
sor takes 50ms approx. to complete the teach-
ing. The sensor is not operable in this period.
The sensor automatically starts sensing after
recognizing the reference color as the criterion,
and the power indicator (green) stops blinking
and lights up continuously.
